Postdoctoral Research-Creation Fellowship

Fiona Annis is an artist who studies the uses of photography and other time-based media. After obtaining an M.A. at the Glasgow School of Art, she completed a practice-led Ph.D. at Concordia University. She currently holds a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Her postdoctoral project is a research-creation initiative with a focus on photography’s uncanny relationship to the past. She is interested in reanimating forgotten histories and peripheral forms of knowledge through the recycling and reframing of existing materials, images and technologies. She pursued this anachronistic approach during an artist’s residency that involved working with the extensive permanent collection of The Museum of Morbid Anatomy in Brooklyn. Fiona Annis has exhibited in national and international artist-run centers, galleries and museums.
